Purpose of the association

The Association pursues the object of winning every institution, association, society or individual person being engaged in commodity science and technology on the international scene to collaborate in the Association's aims, and of serving, by way of an extensive exchange of knowledge and experience on an international level, the progress of modern commodity science.

We are happy to invite you to the 21st IGWT Symposium, which will be organized by the Department of Business Studies at Roma Tre University.

The Symposium title for this edition is: “Sustainability, Quality and Innovation: A Global View of Commodity Sciences”, and the Scientific and Cultural program will take place between Rome and Gaeta, from September 20th to the 25th, 2018.

As the sustainability concept is based on three main pillars, the economic, the environmental and the social one, the evolution of Commodity Sciences’ studies in recent years is following different paths of research. If the final goal remains the creation of value for the products and services given to the final customers, the global environment in which companies have to compete presents every day new challenges.

Therefore, we decided to focus this year’s Symposium on three of the main pillars of our studies, always characterized by their multidisciplinary approach.

Sustainability, quality and technological innovation are relevant drivers for companies’ competitiveness, considering their capability to improve products and processes by different points of view.

The 21st IGWT Symposium will focus on these aspects, which have been declined in a wide range of topics, in order to allow a so-called “global view” of our research efforts.

During the 20th IGWT Symposium Delegates from the 10 countries elected assoc. prof. Sabka Pashova for the new President of IGWT.
